Premium Rush

Dodging speeding cars, crazed cabbies and eight million cranky pedestrians is all in a day’s work for Wilee (Joseph Gordon-Levitt), the best of New York’s agile and aggressive bicycle messengers. It takes a special breed to ride the fixie – super lightweight, single-gear bikes with no brakes and riders who are equal part skilled cyclists and nutcases who risk becoming a smear on the pavement every time they head into traffic. But a guy who’s used to putting his life on the line is about to get more than even he is used to when his last envelope of the day – a routine “premium rush” run – turns into a life or death chase through the streets of Manhattan.

PREMIUM RUSH won’t be mistaken for a complex masterpiece. It’s a popcorn movie through and through, made for maximum momentum and white-knuckle thrills. Make peace with this reality, and you’re in for a ride (pardon the pun), with bike sequences that will place you square at the handlebars of Wilee’s bike, hoping you’ll make it out alive. He’s a lean, mean delivery machine.
